So close again…
Leeds City 6-a-side Football Finals U9 Following on from coming runners up in the city finals for Cross Country, our Y4s came runners up in the football too! Remember, there are over 250 primary schools in Leeds, so this is a great achievement. It was six a side and we had a squad of Read…

They all seemed to really enjoy strutting their stuff on the catwalk – see the photos below. We hope all who attended managed to Read…

I am very sorry that we Read…

Head teacher blog March 9th 2018
What a ridiculous morning Thursday was. It was ‘carmageddon’ on the ring road and other main roads and by 8.15 I only had 3 class teachers in or anywhere near school and none in the infants. Cars were being turned back or abandoned. Buses were snarled up. Everyone, including the council, was caught out. Read…

School closed Thurs 8th March

It’s a tricky decision for head teachers deciding whether or not to keep a school open in bad weather. Early morning is a stressful time: trying to get to school earlier to assess roads and site, communicating with staff to work out how many can reasonably get in and estimating likely attendance rates. Thursday Read…

Farfield open – but only just… Thursday March 1st

Some classes in KS1 may be taken by experienced support staff rather than teachers. Fun Club is open. Doors will open at 8.45. Read…

Wednesday 28th February: School is open
It’s snowy but school is open and we intend to stay open. All staff have managed to get in – after epic journeys for some of them. Main roads in our surrounding area are well gritted but not Cote Lane and other residential streets. Take great care if travelling by car and consider parking Read…
